Broadcast listings showed variation by market: the Chelsea match was not televised in the USA but was available on Sky Sports Premier League in the UK and had a streaming option listed. Arsenal’s simultaneous fixture had separate broadcast arrangements for different territories. The weekend also included cup fixtures alongside the Premier League slate.
